Victor Meirelles keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Victor Meirelles tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #C0A47F functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.5%). At 54 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Victor Meirelles's complete body of work advances.
